OurMine is a popular Saudi Arabian security hacker group that has hacked celebrity accounts in the past to advertise their security services. In the past they’ve hacked the Twitter accounts of Pokemon Go creator John Hanke, Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey, and Google CEO Sundar Pichai.

Hearing that they have the PSN database could be concerning, but it’s worth noting that the group is considered an ethical hacking group. Rather than a group that looks to use information for harm, these sort of “white hat” groups attempt to better security by exposing holes. Unless they’ve changed their modus operandi recently, then all the information should be fine.

The PlayStation Network was infamously hacked in 2011, which caused a 23 day outage. It was one of the largest data security breaches ever, as over 77 million PSN accounts were impacted. Since then, Sony has tried to better their reputation in terms of security, but this certainly won’t help the public opinion of them online.

We’ll have more on the hacks, and the potential leak of the PlayStation Network databases, as the story develops.
